A version denied by the many inhabitants who attended the scene, including Jafar Hamayel, former officer of the Palestinian and voluntary authority at the village council: “There was no shots on our side, what you heard from the army are lies. Moreover, The soldiers began to shoot“. However, This 62 -year -old man told us at the funeral of the three young Palestinians on Thursday, June 26.”This is the first time that there have been such clashes for a long time. Moreover, but everyone knows that the settlers have been protected by the army.“

Soldiers targeted by the colonists – "they strangled soldier": west bank,

In Israel, more than the army, it is the colonists who find themselves today under the fire of criticism after the “they strangled soldier”: west bank, attacks by Kufr Malik. Nevertheless, These found a rare echo within the Hebrew State. Consequently, On public radio. we could hear the former Minister Tzipi Livni regaining asbunt terms since October 7, a period when the two -state solution was still audible: “This horrible thing that we saw alongside Ramallah, these Jews who burn Palestinian houses – they burn our common house. This is what [Ben-Gvir et Smotrich] When they want to install settlers in Gaza.”

The majority of Israeli media have taken up in their publications the elements of army language. evoking “confrontations” Between residents (settlers) and terrorists. In contrast. the big left daily newspaper Haaretz evoked the presence of a “in his columns Monday in his columnsgrotesque ethnunizationalist segregation in West Bank“denouncing “The impunity enjoyed by Israeli colonists when they commit acts of violence, both against the Palestinians and against Israeli soldiers. “

Haaretz “they strangled soldier”: west bank, thus reports that. in the night from Friday to Saturday, June 28, around 70 settlers reappeared near Kufr Malik, where they “strangled a soldier, attempted to crush others, struck military vehicles with cars and even launched a Molotov cocktail “ During an attack that lasted almost five hours. Six attackers, two of whom were arrested following these facts.

If Benjamin Netanyahu. his Minister of Defense condemned this attack, they believe, however, that it “does not reflect the vast majority of settlers “.

Centist opponents Yair Lapid. Yaïr Golan have used a formula traditionally reserved for Palestinians, qualifying the authors of the violence of “”Jewish terrorists “.

Critics that remain in the minority

Despite these few reactions. the nationalist right remains in the majority in “they strangled soldier”: west bank, the country, embodied to the extreme by the ultra -LERICIAL ministers Itamar Ben GVir and Bezalel Smotrich. If for a fringe of public opinion. the settlers have become dangerous radicals again, within the government we assure that they remain – unlike the Palestinian residents of West Bank – under the protection of the army. Pulling against a colonist. according to the Minister of Finance Smotrich, would be crossing “A dangerous red line“And must be”forbidden”.

Just a week after the ceasefire between Israel. Iran, and while Gazanis continue to die every day under the Israeli strikes, the Palestinians of West Bank do not hope for an lull of these settlers’ attacks. In Kufr Malik. we expect an escalation, and other dead under Tsahal fire: “There are clear statements from Israel saying that they have finished with Iran and the axis of the Resistance, and that now, it is our “they strangled soldier”: west bank, turn, citizens of West Bank “fears Jafar Hamayel, evoking several recent speeches in this sense of the Israeli far right.
